[Dovecot] doveadm director status username != doveadm director status username@mailserver
Hi,
I've almost finished my new director based setup, but in the first test I discovered that imap and lmtp connections were not always being proxied to the same server. After some research now I think that the main problem is that in imap connections users connect as 'username' while lmtp connections are as 'username@mailserver'.
In my current setup I receive mail via SMTP in my director servers (which are loadbalanced by a CISCO machine), and then they send them to dovecot running on localhost. I've tried to get rid of the @mailserver in postfix in a generic way with no success.
Is there any way to redirect connections based only in the local part of the address? Or there is a way to get rid of the @mailserver in the postfix -> lmtp connection?
Both doveadm config -n and postconf -n are attached.
Thanks.

First, my imap connections/logins show the full username (user@example.com) in the logs. I'm not using LMTP (yet), but don't think that affects imap logins...
Second, since, in a virtual setup, it is very likely that you will have a collision of the local part, shouldn't you be figuring out how to make imap logins use the full user@example.com instead?

We are only serving one domain here, so we have no need for the @domain part in the login, so we are not using it. In the short future we will allow people to connect using their full address, but not for now.
Timo's solution was exactly was I was looking for.
Thank you.

BTW. This feature was implemented so that %d value could be used to allow shared mailboxes between domains to work in setups that have many smallish domains.
And now that I think about it, the default should probably be %Lu
